Content rules

Profanity in pages

Profanity in pages, unless they are confirmed quotes from Jeremy Scott's narrations, are NOT allowed. However, if a quote from Jeremy does contain Profanity, the vowels must be censored with an asterisk, exactly as the captions do so. To confirm that the quote is confirmed, the sin number and movie name must be included. Only use asterisks to censor words; do not use other characters to censor swear words. Shown below are acceptable forms of this (please make note of underlined information):

In EWW CinemaSins, Jeremy, in sin #25 states that "Scene does not contain lap dance" is a sin because he says, "F*ck you, that's why."

In EWW CinemaSins, Jeremy, in sin #27, says that he puts the videos in the "Films and Animation" category instead of "Comedy" because in the narration, he says, "..because we've already given our full allotment of f*cks about people who don't understand sarcasm."

Notice that the above two examples censor swear words correctly and use Jeremy's name, the title of EWW episode and the sin number (all underlined).

If a word in a quote from Jeremy is an addon of the original word, the main word must be censored with an asterisk, exactly as the captions do so. If the original word has other acts of profanity in the word, all but the first and last letters of that word must be censored.

Edit wars can result in the page that the edit war is on blocked to only moderators and admins for at least 24 hours (depending on the severity). The initiator of the edit war will be subject to a 1-month block or longer, depending on severity.

Candidates for deletion: Pages in this category must also have a valid reason why they need to be deleted. Admins will only delete pages that the users really don't want (such as pages containing details that would be used for a blog post, comment, or forum thread). Pages that have nothing but "Write the first section of your page here" will be marked as this UNLESS it is a feature page, such as Conversations With Myself". Failure to provide a valid reason for deletion will result in the deletion template removed.

Titles: An "Everything Wrong With" article about a movie must contain the movie name (with correct capitalization) and (EWW Video) or (Everything Wrong With video) after it. Titles of features or movies must also be full titles, not shortened versions of it.

Profile pages can be edited ONLY by the user who owns it.

Vandalism of any kind will NOT be tolerated. This rule applies to profile pages, other blog posts, and comments.

Chat/comment rules

It is strictly prohibited to insult ANY user in ANY way. This rule applies to all users, including blocked or banned users, sockpuppet, troll or otherwise, as well as their blog posts, chats, etc. (Golden Rule applies). Methods of this can include:

Death threats or other similar threat

Profanity that is not censored with asterisks correctly

Excessive profanity, censored or not

Calling users names or by degrading terms

One-word comments that are not profanity in nature is not a violation of this subdivision. However, saying something "wrong" or "b******t" is considered violating this rule.

Slandering in chat and comment sections: Slandering is to make negative or hostile statements about someone or something that damages their identity, appeal, or likability.

Spamming: Spamming the chat system is absolutely NOT allowed on this or any wiki. If your IP or user has a spambot doing it, remove it immediately; you will be banned from the chat if this rule is not followed.

Attempts to steal user's confidential information will be resolved with a permanent ban on the user, as this act is extremely intolerable.

Avoid revealing confidential information about yourself or others. Such information can result in account hacks or you being a frequent vandal victim. Doing this to others will also be resolved with a long-term ban of at least 1 year or longer (even permanently, depending on the amount of information leaked) since it's their info and they shouldn't be exposed without permission.
